Questions people ask
Is there a free expense tracker for Butte, Montana?
Yes. A GreenBug.ai account is free to make, and every new account starts with a 7-day trial. The app is in a beta test period, so there is nothing to pay while the beta runs.
Can I bring in my bank transactions?
Yes. Download the CSV or OFX file your bank or card already offers and drop it in. The file is read on your own device, names are tidied up, categories are guessed, and anything you already logged is spotted so nothing counts twice.
Do I have to type every receipt in by hand?
No. Take a photo, or pick a pile of photos from your camera roll, and the store, date, amount and category get filled in. You glance at it and save.
Does it find my subscriptions and repeating bills?
Yes. Once the same place shows up three times at about the same price it becomes a repeating cost, with what it really costs a month and when it is due next. Steady ones are marked as subscriptions, and you are told when one puts its price up.
Will it tell me if I get charged twice?
Yes. The same amount at the same place within a few days is flagged. Everyday places you use all the time are left out, so the list stays worth reading.
Can it tell me what this month will cost?
Yes. Once there are about three weeks of spending behind it, the forecast shows where this month is heading and lays out the next six months from your real bills and your usual day-to-day rate.
Can I use it on my own?
Yes. Most people do. You can also share with a partner, a housemate or family, and anything marked personal stays visible only to you.
Can I get my expenses out as a spreadsheet?
Yes. Settings has a Download Spreadsheet button that gives you every expense in a file Excel and Google Sheets both open.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It runs in the phone browser, and Settings has a button that puts a GreenBug.ai shortcut on your home screen so it opens like an app.
Who can see my records?
Only you, and anyone you deliberately share with. Records are locked to one account inside the database itself, and they are never sold, rented or shared with advertisers.
